But the best thing about our autonomous programs are their names. My favorites are Stealing Babies and Operation King and I, even though neither got programmed due to time constraints and some drive train problems at SBPLI .
Nice, do you have a read-out on your controls to let you know if you are going forward/backward? And how long does it take you to get to the top or carry out your "Operation King"
